Wife will have her interview at the US embassy in Abu Dhabi. My wife is Iraqi and the UAE imposed travel restrictions on Iraqi nationals.
Title says it all, I'm originally from Iraq. My wife is still over there and I got everything approved, all we are waiting for is an appointment at the US Embassy in Abu Dhabi. This is where the issue lies, unfortunately due to some issues in Iraq her case was automatically moved from Baghdad to Abu Dhabi in late October. By mid November or so the United Arab Emirates imposed travel restrictions on Iraqis. Now I'm not sure what's going to happen because I never get a clear answer when I contact the National Visa Center. I'm worried that she'll get an appointment date and when it comes time to fly to the UAE, Emirati customs will not allow her entry and then we'd have to wait another 6-7 months or so for an appointment. Anyway does anyone have any information on this? I can't be the only person in this situation. I'm sure there are Iranians, Pakistanis, and other Iraqis who are in the same situation that can help me out.
Thanks.
